BJJ GI: This course of instruction includes the school’s full standard curriculum. Depending on the class size and composition, the Gi program will touch on a wide range of concepts and sequences ranging from basic to advanced levels. Here the students will study all of the key elements in BJJ Gi training such as take downs, throws, position, sweeps, guard passing, submissions, and more. Gi instruction is a fundamental building block for the total fighter, and for this reason it is recommended for all levels from new beginner to professional mixed martial artists competing in MMA.

BJJ Nogi: Like the Gi curriculum, the No Gi curriculum will focus on the key elements of Jiu Jitsu training with one exception – the gi is not worn in this class. Here students will explore how the art changes when the kimono is taken off. Modifications to grips, movements, and submissions will be taught in this class. Students interested in MMA or self defense for the street will find this class exceptionally useful, and this knowledge is directly applicable to both Gi as well as No Gi situations.

Kids Class & Homeschool: This program is tailored specifically for children between the ages of 5 and 12 (average). The kids’ class aims to familiarize children with the basic movements of BJJ. The goal is to incorporate the principles of ground movement into the muscle memory of children at as early an age as possible so that they will be in an ideal position to pursue more advanced training as they get older. Our goal is to instill confidence, respect, and a positive, healthy regimen into the lives and minds of our young students.

Fundamentals/Self-Defense: Perfect for the beginner or anyone wanting a refresher with the basics, Fundamentals will help you stay comfortable with the foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). Because the basics of BJJ lend themselves so well to protecting one’s self, we’ll be including self-defense along with our fundamentals.

Judo: Judo meaning “gentle way” is a modern martial art and combat sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano after his mastery of three forms of Japanese Ju Jutsu. At Mario’s academy there are three emphasized strategies taught: Judo for BJJ, Judo for Judo Competition, and Judo as it pertains to MMA and No Gi. Its most prominent feature is the competitive element wherein the object is to either throw or takedown one’s opponent to the ground in an effort to either immobilize or otherwise subdue one’s opponent with a grappling maneuver by pinning the opponent or forcing them to submit by applying a joint lock or by executing a choke or strangle hold. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (Kata) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (Randori).
